Drawing in Nature

Nature and the creative process go hand in hand. If someone asked, “What would be the most significant thing that we could do right now to improve life on this planet?” I would say, “Connect children, art and nature as early as possible in their lives!”

Nature and creativity are the most powerful forces on this planet. An appreciation for the natural world and imagination is a necessity not only for survival but success. Children that grow up playing, painting and photographing outside in nature build creative connections with the natural world that feeds their imagination in ways that will serve them over and over throughout their lifetime. If the next generation becomes disconnected from these forces, there’s a good possibility we will see a decline in human productivity, resources and innovation.
